These are all contemporary poets, whose books make up a very high percentage of my #textonlycovers. Not sure why that is-- the cynic in me thinks it's because of the lower publishing budget, but the idealist thinks it's because poets know better than everyone else the value of a few well-chosen words. 😉 Sharon Olds and Donald Justice are brilliant. Alien vs. Predator, however, does not come recommended-- but the cover is great.
Getting ready for October....I love Halloween and poetry. Check out the awesomely talented Sharon Olds. This was an SF Poetry Center award winner in 1981.
Sometimes I feel them waiting, dozing / in some antechamber — servants, half- / listening for the bell.
